Accuracy of Short‐Wave Numerical Models

Publication: Journal of Hydraulic Engineering
Volume 110, Issue 10

Abstract

Numerical models of what the engineer calls “short” waves have quickly become valuable adjuncts to engineering practice. However, the earlier models of this type had a relatively limited range or application. Practice demands a wider range and the paper describes various methods used to meet this demand.
